Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 Hello everyone, My name is and I've never joined a newsgroup before and am not very knowlegeable about newsgroup etiquette so please forgive me if I commit a faux pas. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could offer. My baby boy is 6 1/2 months old. We first noticed the flattening of the back of his head about 3 months ago. Our pediatrician assured us that this was quite common and that it would round out. Three months later, it has improved a little but not much. From the front, his ears now look even however, one side is still sunken in at least 3/4 inch deeper than the other. On his little head, this is very noticeable. Our pediatrician has booked us an appointment with a specialist for mid June even though she believes it will round out. Is this true? Does anyone have a baby with plagio whose head evened out without the helmet/band? Does anyone regret getting the helmet? If I find out that he is borderline for getting a helmet/band I'm not sure which way to go. Does anyone know plagio babies who are now older children or adults who live with the mishapen head? I would be so greatful for any information or experience. I only recently found out that this condition was called plagiocephaly. I wish I had discovered this site much earlier because I could have used the suggested techniques for repositioning. All this time, I've just been turning his head using my hands, which is often a futile exercise. Thanks so much (Kale's mom) ===== Lin mjl@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
